Ave. FARMERS’ INSTITUTE CLOSES Address by Secretary Wilson Leading Fea- ture of Yesterday's Session. Uadies Ballot on State Flower, Se- lecting “Black-Eyed Susan” by Small Majority. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., August 26, 1998. The second and last day's session of the State Farmers’ Institute, held at the Mar land Agricultural College, was held today. Breakfast was served at 7 o'clock in the college dining room, and after a stroll of an hour or so in th: cool of the morning through the grounds adjacent to the col- lege, the meeting was called to order by Director Amoss. The six hundred visitors of the day be- fore had been increased by two hundred and fifty or three hundred more, who ar- rived on the morning trains. On every hand were heard expressions of apprecia- ticn of the hospitabl2 manner in which the guests had been entertained. The proceedings were opened with an address by Professor J. H. Patterson, whos> paper was entitled “Purpose of the Experim ion.” The speaker was ac cerded the closest attention as he outlined the working of the station. The visitors next repaired to the station, Where un insp2ction was made. The ex- pr nm was one of general satisfaction that Maryland had a station worthy of the State, deserving the hearty support of tha agricultural element. ‘The next speaker of th> James Wilson, Secretary He sail, in part, that pleasure to witne: fested by day was Mr. of Agriculture. it gave him great e enthusiasm mani- the farmers of th? state, and this outpouring culturists evidences the tact that Maryland fs making strenuous efforts to place herself at the head of the ation. armer that such n at the college the lines of sanitation and bacteriolo- y should be encouraged so as to enabl lerstand the health of the home. of the n merican war as = many millions of people with and therefore of vital inter- farmer. x of the ports from the United said at they mounted to ¢ hundred and thirty ions of dol- three-fourths of which came from the farm.

Patterson and Director Amoss. A special feature of the institute was the meeting of the ladies held in the Mbrary hall, and presided over by Mrs. John T. Graham, president of the Mount Washing- ton Lend a Hand Club. The object of this Meeting was to arouse interest in the work of the farmers’ institute, and to urge the presence of the ladies at this meeting. Ad- dresses were made by Miss Speers and Mrs. Robinson. A vote on the favor of the “Blac enrod bein; ate flower resulted in -eyed Susan,” the gold- a close competitor. The meeting was brought to a close yes- terday evening by an address by Prof. Pal- mer of the United States Department of Agriculture. Today the visitors will be entertained by the Secretary of Agriculture in Washing- ton. They will be shown through the de- partment. Ss CHICAGO'S TEACHERS’ Dr. Edmund J. Jawes Hax Been Made the Dean of It. Dr. Edmund J. James, professor of polit- jeal setance in the University of Chicago, has been appointed dean of the new teach- ers’ college organized by the univer&ity on the foundation created by Mrs. Emmons Blaine. He was for thirte2n years profes- sor in the University of Pennsylvania, and has been In Chicago since 1896. The teachers’ college is a unique expert- ment in education—an attempt to organize college work in science, literature and art fn such a way t engaged in the active work of teaching can get the full ad- vantages of a college training.

Gus Weyhing offered to take another shy at the Browns, but he was as easy to solve as on the day previous, his delivery being hit for fifteen safeties with a total of twenty- three. The support given Weyhing was something awful, Mercer having four cr- rors, while the new man, McQuade, pulled off two. Sudhoff, who pitched for the Browns, was also hit hard and supported poorly, but the errors made back of him were not as costly as those of the Senators. Mercer redeemed himself somewhat by hammering out three safe hits. Tom. Kins- low, the Washington boy, played a good game for the Browns, accepting seven chances out of eight and making a single aid a triple at the bat. The attendance has been very good at St. Louis when the circumstances are consid- ered, fully 1,500 spectators being present at yesterday's game. The St. Louis players have not been paid for a month and over, and are depending upon Sunday's game to pull them out of the hole financially. St. Louis, R.H.O.A-E., Wash’gton. R.H.O.A.E.

Cleveland. New York. Base Ball Notes. St. Louls again today. Tomorrow the Senators play in Louis- ville. Four pitchers on the roll, yet Weyhing goes in two days in succession. “Jud” Smith has about struck his gait, and is doing well, both at the bat and in the field. McQuaid is the name of a new Senator. It might be suggested that Ted Larkin, Joe Start and Jack Milligan are on A. the re: “Buck” Freeman, the Toronto right field- er, who is not good enough for the league, has made twenty-twotwo-base hits,fourteen three-base bits and nineteen home runs, with a total of 107 bases. His nearest competitor is Clymer of the Ottawas, who has a total of fifty-eight bases. A batter ‘that can hit ike that in the Eastern Leegue is surely fast enough for the big lesgue. Martin McQuaid, who has just been signed by the Washington club to help out the season, has been playing ball for the past ten years, and his best work has heen Gone as a minor leaguer. Last season he played with the Dubuque, Iowa, team of the Western Association, having a batting average of .258 and forty-four stolen bases | to his credit. McQuaid’s fielding average was .006, playing fn 114 games. Gene De Montreviile, the second base- man of the Baltimores, thinks better of second base the longer he plays it. “Sec- ond base! Why, it's duck soup compared to short stop,” said De Mont. “I am glad I switched over to that corner.” President Johnson of the Western League says ell his players who have been drafted | by the Naticral League will be at Mherty to join that organization after September 2, the date on which the minor league's Season closes. J. H. Manning, president of the Kansas City team, says that his team has been making all kinds of money this season. He does not expect to be able to keep a!l bis players next year, and figures on losing at least five of them. Slagel, center field; Fristie, left field; Williams, third base: Nelson, catcher, and Pardee, pitcher, are almost certain to play in the major Jeague. ‘The Baltimores smashed the season's rec- erd for consecutive victories, won their twelfth straight contest, regularly slaugh- tered the Reds on their own grounds, jumped into second place and made a big gain on No. 1, beat the league directors on the Holmes deal, new Hanlon girl baby on Mount Royal avente—all in one day.—Bal- timore Sun. i That next season will see all players of the National League organized to protect themselves against the magnates there is n6 longer any doubt. The players are now working quietly to bring about an organ- tation of this kind. It Is understood that every club has one or more delegates of the movement in its ranks, and that things are progressing rapidly. A member of the Bal- timore tcam, in speaking of the organiza- tion, said last night: “Yes, the players are crganizing, and it is high time that they should. The movement has been on foot for some time past, but it made little head- way until the board of directors handed down that splendid decision in the Holmes case. That brought all the pessimists to the front, and it is now an assured fact that there will be an organization for the protection of the players’ interests next season. The players have come to an un- derstanding: They realize that it is for their own good to have an organization something on the style of a labor union. A number of prominent attorneys will be en- gaged for a year at a time by this crgan- ization, and whenever we find that we are getting the worst of it we will take our case into court, where we know we will get a ta and square deal.”"—Cincinnati In- quirer. HOLMES REINSTATED. The League Nullifies the Action of the Board of Directors. The National League board of directors has revoked its suspension of Holmes, the Baltimore base ball player. The fine against the New York club stands. Yesterday was the first day on which the suspension of Holmes was to have gone into eff2ct, and the announcement of the annulment of the suspension was wired all clubs by President Young before time for yesterday’s game. The reconsideration of the previous order followed a confer- etce between President Robison of the Cleveland club and Assistant Secretary Robert Young, in New York. Wednesday night, as a result of the con- ference, Mr. Robiscn wired the several base ball clubs asking them to request the board of directors to reconsider the illegal sus- pension of Holmes. Tne Boston, Cincin- nati, Cleveland, Chicago, Brooklyn, Phila- delphia, St. Louis, Pittsburg and Washing- ton clubs responded favorably and yester- day a majority of the board of directors wired their proxies to President Young. The only action now to be taken to close out the case is for Baitimore to request payment of the fine in lieu of the gate re- ceipts from the forfeited game. “TERRIBLE GREEK” COLLAPSED. The Japanese Wrestler Easily De- feats Him, The much-talked-of wrestling br be- tween Herkalides, the “Terrible Greek,” and Takezawas, the “Strong Jap,” for the championship of the werld and a purse of $5,000, came off as scheduled at Atlantic City yesterday afternoon, but ended when but half completed on account of the Greek being unable to continue. In the midst of the Graeco-Roman bout the Greek col- lapsed, went into convulsions, and was later carried from the stage in what was believed to be a dying condition. There was to have been three bouts, the first of eight minutes in the rough-and- tumble Japanese style, and the other two of thirty minutes each, Graeco-Roman. The first was pulled off without either man gaining a point or apparently having the slightest advantage, although the Greek towered head and shoulders over the Jap. ‘The former was badly winded at the end of the bout, however, and in the twelve-min- ute resting period drank two glasses of ice water, ate an orange and smoked a c!gar- ette. He came up fresh for the first Gracco- Roman bout, but the men had sparred for a hold less than six minutes when the Jap, with lightning-like quickness, secured a half Nelson and brought the Greek to his knees. Then began a desperate wrenching for a fall. In the midst of this struggle Herkalides suddenly collapsed and went to the mat, writhing {n convulsions, with froth issuing from his mouth, and uttering the most piercing screams. The Jap failed to understand what wa the matter, and kept forcing his antagu nist’s shoulders to the floor, until Referee Hartman interfered. Herkalides was un- able to rise, and quickly sank into a state of coma, during which his muscles writhed and knotted in a manner which plainly showed the terrible agony he was suffer- ing. Dr. Van Lennep of the Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia, entered the field, and, after an examination of the fallen wrestler, pronounced him in a serious con- dition. All the vital organs had seemingly given out at once. The match awarded to Takezawas, and his fellow-countrymen, who were pri ent in large numbers, tendered him an ov tion. This was the Jap's first contest in this country, and his next match will probably be held within the next ten days with “the Barnacle,” the champion heayy-weight wrestler of New York state. Takezawas wears the championship belt of Japan, and by his victory he wins the belt which Ern- est Roeber turned over after refusing to meet the Terrible Turk. TITUS MAKES A RECORD. ae Defeats Starbuck in an Interesting Pursuit Race. Owing to the unfavorable weather, less than a thousand persons attended the race meet last night under the auspices of the Park Bicycle Club. The most interesting event on the program was the match pur- suit race between Fred Titus of New York city and J. Frank Starbuck of Philadelphia, the former overtaking his competitor after covering three and one-half miles and fin- ishing five miles in 11:223-5. In the other events the contestants, with but few excep- tions, were District men. Summaries of Professional events: Tanden race, one-mile heats, profession- al—Won by W. F.

DISCUSSING PRELIMINARI Mr. Charles Russell Meets New York Yachtsmen, Charles Russell, representing Sir Thomas Lipton apd the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, yesterday formally met the committee of the New York Yacht Club. Mr. Russell, who left the meeting: after half an hhour’s talk, said he was well pleased at the manner in which he was received. Secretary Oddie said: “Mr. Russell expressed himself freely with reference te what {s expected by the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, He is perfectly satisfied with the way in which things are proceed- ing, and is willing to leave everything in our hands.” é The matter of a clear course, Mr. Oddie said, was merely touched upon, and no menticn whatever was made of the Dun- raven happenings of the last international contest for the America’s cup. The com- mittee, Secretary Oddie said, is ready to receive the Lipton challenge from the com- mittee of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, which is due next Week. The dimensions of the Shamrock, the challenging boat, were not given by Mr. Ruasell, nor were they referred to in any way. MISS WIMER: WON. Defeated Mins Atkinson in Ladtes’ Singles at Niagara. L. E.

The annual tennis tournament of the Co- lumbia Athletic Club to determine the championship of the club in singles and doubles will begin Monday, September 5, Labor day. Although the date has been se- lected but a few days some of the best players of the District have entered, in- cluding Talliafero, Clemons, G. May, O'Leary, Spofford, Campbell, Messer, Mc- Quade, Talty and others. The present champion in singles, O'Leary, is generally conceded to be one of the strongest players in the District, and his many admirers were not disappointed when in last year’s District championships he met and defeated some of the best players of the south, suffering defeat only at the hands of the redoubtable Davidson. How- ever, he will have a hard time beating the good field opposed to him. Talliafero, with his well-known cross-court volleys at the net and lightning-like ground strokes, may prove a stumbling biock, while Clemons and May, both ‘varsity men, will have equal chances of winning out. May is a I. White (owe ndall (owe half 30) by default; late addition to the club, but those who" have seen him handle the racket have left a place in their books for a dark horse. UNFIT PUGILIST EXPIRES. Scott Died in Convalsions After Fighting Tommy Butler. NEW YORK, August 26.—Alexander Scott, the pugilist, died at the Nerweglan Hospital at 5 o'clock this morning of urae- mic convulsions brought on by his exer- ticns in his fight with Tommy Butler at the Greenwood Athletic Club, Brooklyn, last night. Scott was a brakeman on the Long Is- land railroad. He was twenty-five years old, and leaves a wife and two children. He had made no proper preparation to meet Butler last night, and it is declared by the physicians at the Norwegian Hos- pital that Scott’s kidneys were in bad con- dition before he entered the ring. The ex- citement, heat and his exertions brought on a series of uraemic convulsions, to which he succumbed this morning. Butler and his seconds are under arrest. Dr. J. P. Hart, the physician to the Greenwood Athletic Club, whose duty it is to examine the men before they enter the ring, says that Scott was in perfect con- dition when he entered the ring. Dr. Hart said the probable cause of Scott's death was concussion of the brain. In the last round, the doctor said, Scott showed the fatigue of the terrible exertion and the heat, and was knocked down four times, falling on his head to the hard wood floor. CORBETT’S RETURN Est. He Will Leave San Franciseo Monday and Hopes to Fight MeCoy. SAN FRANCISCO, August 26.—Pusgtlist Jim Corbett will leave for New York on Mcrday. He says that McCoy acted very manfully concerning the postponement of their engagement, but as it is purely a matter cf business with him, he will try to have the contest carried off according to the original plans, excepting that the time the fight will necessarily be changed to a Jater date. The National Club has signed Frank Mc- Connell to fight George Green in this city Some time next month. Racing at Brightwood.

Proposed Enlargement by Adding Auxiliary Yachts, A plan to enlarge the revenue cutter serv- ice was presented to the President yester- day by Representative Sherman of New York, who advocated transferring to it the available yachts now in the auxiliary fleet. Mr. Sherman is chairman of the House committee on foreign and interstate com- merce, which presented a bill at the last session to authorize the construction of eight cutters at a cost of $250,000 each. He came to Washington yesterday to urge that the yachts which have been in service during the war be turned over to the revenue cutter service for permanent use. ‘here are about six of these yachts, including the Gloucester, fit for their pro- posed use. The President said that the suggestion would be considered. ——_———_+ e+ Bach letter carrier of India has a run of six miles, and at the end of it is relieved by another carrier, who at once begins his run.

From the New York Herald Today. BOSTON, Mass., Thursday.—lieutenant William Tiffany of the Rough Riders died in the Parker House here at five minutes after 6 o'clock this evening from the ef- fects of exposure and starvation. There were present at his bedside his mother, his sister, his brother, Belmont P. Tiffany, and his fiancee, Miss Livingston of New York. Lieutenant Tiffany arrived in Boston on the Olivette on Tuesday morning. As he was regarded as convalescent he was al- lowed to choose the place where he would be treated, and he selected the Parker House. He had hoped to leave the Olivette at Montauk Point, but was not allowed to do so, though his brother was there to meet him. The journey around to Boston seemed especially tedious, and the added privations had a distinctly bad effect upon the sick man. The change for the worse came a little before 9 o'clock. The fever and prostration had expended their power on the heart, which showed signs of failure. Dr. John son called in consultation Dr. William W. Gannett, Dr. Herman F. Veckéry and Dr. W. E. Paul. One cr more of these physi- clans were in the sick room until the end. Iieutenant Tiffany’s courage was superb. He fought back the fatal weakness hour after hour by force of will, but as the day waned his vital force faltered. The Rev. Dr. Lorimer of Tremont Temple and an Episcopal clergyman were called, and offer- ed the consolations of their office before the patient relapsed into the unconsciousness that was never broken. here was no organic disease,” said Bel- mont Tiffany to me tonight. “ihe doctors say William was simply worn out. He was exhausted. You could form your own opin- fon as to what made him exhausted if you were to see how emaciated he was. “I cannot tell you all he said about his experiences.

Dr. Johnson would not express any opin- jon as to the antecedents of the case of the Olivette. Another physician, however, said he understood that the diet was very limit- ed and quite inadequate to the successful feeding of a convalescent. aio ea ONE SHOT KILLED ONE HUNDRED. Commander Pillsbury Tells Vesuvius’ Deadly Work. From the New York Journal Today. Aémiral Sampson's squadron down the key was increased yesterday afternocr by the arrival of the unique Vesuvius. The terror-inspiring dynamite cruiser—hurler of earthquakes, as the Spaniards chris- tened her—came up from Guantanamo, Cu- ba, whence she sailed on August 18, under orders from the department to proceed to New York. She stopped on the way up at Charleston for coal, and was quarantined there two days and a half. “Her guns were very effective in theiz work,” said Commander John sbury. “You can say the Vesuvius is @ great success,"” added another officer. Twenty-six shots in all were fired by the dynamite cruiser at the batteries com- manding the entrance to Santiago harbor. ‘They contained charges of gun cotton varying from 10) to 200 pounds, the agere- gate of the powerful explosive thus pumped on and around Santiago's defenses being estimated at about 4,000 pounds, or ten times as much as is necessary to blow up every ship now in New York bay, as che of the officers put it, while scanning the great squadron at anchor, and the countless boats of all kinds hovering atout the floating fortresses. As to the ajarm the Vesuvius’ shots cre- ated and the damage they caused, abun- dant evidence was obtained from captured officers and men of Cervera’s fleet. Capt. Cencas of the Spanish flagship Maria Te- resa told Commander Pillsbury that one of the Vesuvius’ shells struck the barracke between the light house and Morro Castle and Killed over one hundred soldier: Another fell on Cayo Smith and spread of the destruction, while a torpedo boat attack that was intended was demoralized and had to be abandoned because the Vesuvius dropped a shell in the channel where the torpedo boats were waiting for a chance to dart out and sink some of Sampson's blockading ironciads. é The Vesuvius did ali her work at night. since being without any protection what- ever, having no armor, it would have been foolhardy to run her up within range in the daytime, and thus give the Spaniards a chance to kit her. She was at Guantana- mo when Cervera made his dash out of the harbor, and therefore did not participate in that battle. 2+ SHOULD STURDY THE MARKET. of Unsuitable Style Weight Sent to E: and. Consul Haistead at Birmingham tells some interesting things in a report to the State Department about the English mar- ket for United States shoes. Speaking of an arrangement made by an American manufacturer in Birmingham, the consul says: “It is strange and very annoying to one interested in American trade that a manu- facturer enterprising enough to establish agencies in London and also in the pro- vincial cities of Great Britian should have given so little thought and study to the needs of the market he is seeking. He has three styles of shoes on sale—viz., patent leather laced, calfskin buttoned and tan laced. The patent leather would perhaps go better if a button shoe, the black calf- skin should certainiy, I think, be laced, and all are far too light soled for the un- questioned climatic demands here. The one style of toe, also, is of too extreme a point to suit English taste. While in the United States the drift in style is away from the pointed, the bulldog and half bulldog toes gaining in popularity, it must be acknowl- edged that there is a tendency here toward a pointed toe, though it will never be the sharp point we know in America. The ma- jority of Englishmen wear ‘pumps’ to bal): and other indoor evening entertainments, and they might be ready to adopt as a more convenient and useful substitute the light-soled and pointed American patent leather shoes with their splendidly finished uppers; but the calfskins and tans are too thin scled for this climate, even for Amer- jeans living here, and in a few weeks I shall have to add an extra thickness of sole to the shoes I have bought.” EMBARKING AT SANTIAGO.
